KAOS: Pop-up opening

“The world is a chaotic place. War, reality tv, Donald Trump, shopping malls, crying babies, Times Square consumer frenzy. Everyone wants to direct your attention towards them, their product. 20 tabs open in the eternal search for satisfaction. The hedonic hamster wheel on crack.” Are you curious now? Morten Rockford Ravn invites you to come Friday, September 4 to KAOS’ pop-up opening in collaboration with the people from AF*ART Magazin, who are relaunching after 3 years hiatus.

The exhibition is a riff on the zeitgeist – KAOS. Every day we’re bombarded with more information than ever before, a condition of increasing complexity that’s only growing day-by-day, hand-in-hand with the universe’s endless expansion. In extension of this evolution, Morten Rockford Ravn zoomes. in on the absurdity of the human condition where our final destination is food for worms.

Our attempts to forget our own mortality through chocolate bars and superhero movies contains an underlying morbid humor that I’m trying to highlight through juxtapositions such as the poet Edgar Allan Poe next to a twerking Nicki Minaj. Monster trucks on collision course, a metaphor for the cultural zeitgeist, or just a cool image that speaks to my inner child? Come by and make your own connections.

SAY WHAT?

We spot, showcase and elevate fresh talent, and pay homage to the veterans who shape our subcultures; providing insight into stuff we like including photography, fashion, skate and snow, design, music and everyday nonsense.
